Movie Summary

Jacob (Mads Mikkelsen) works at a Bombay orphanage in dire financial straits. After two decades, he returns to his native Denmark to pursue a potential donation from Jorgen (Rolf Lassgard), a wealthy entrepreneur. In Copenhagen, Jacob is invited to the wedding of Jorgen's favorite daughter; at the ceremony, Jacob unwittingly walks headlong into his past. Susanne Bier and Anders Thomas Jensen developed the story as a natural extension of their previous collaborations: the acclaimed OPEN HEARTS and BROTHERS. '"Rich, intricate and very gripping. A kind of treat we are only rarely offered these days." - Schickel, Time "Bier's epic. Enough twist and turns to fill four weepies. She invests energy and genuine invention in almost every shot...Mads Mikkelsen...here displays the self-conscious jitter of the young Pacino." - Nelson, Voice "Compelling...Serves it up straight, no chaser and dares anyone to flinch. Couldn't be more illuminating or more dramatic." - Turan, LA Times
